The Journey

1

Tower of London

Step into the Tower of London, a historic castle that has served as a royal palace, prison, armory, and treasury. Marvel at the Crown Jewels, hear tales of infamous prisoners and executions, and learn about the ravens who, according to legend, must remain at the Tower or the kingdom will fall. Explore nearly 1000 years of history within its ancient walls, brought to life by the iconic Yeoman Warders.

2

HMS Belfast

Climb aboard HMS Belfast, a powerful Royal Navy warship that played a crucial role in World War II. Explore the ship's nine decks, from the engine rooms deep below to the bridge high above, and discover what life was like for the crew who served on this floating city. Experience the sounds and smells of wartime at sea and uncover the stories of the men who lived and fought on board.

3

Tower Bridge

Witness the grandeur of Tower Bridge, a Victorian engineering marvel that spans the River Thames. Explore the Tower Bridge Exhibition to learn about the bridge's history and operation, and walk across the high-level walkways for breathtaking panoramic views of London. If you're lucky, you might even witness the bridge's bascules being raised to allow a tall ship to pass through.

4

Execution Dock

Reflect on the somber history of Execution Dock, a site on the River Thames where pirates and other maritime criminals met their end. For over 400 years, this was the location for public executions, including the infamous Captain Kidd. Today, a marker near the Prospect of Whitby pub commemorates this dark chapter in London's past, offering a chilling glimpse into the city's maritime history and the harsh realities of justice in centuries past.

Canary Wharf

Explore Canary Wharf, a modern business district that stands as a testament to London's economic dynamism. Admire the soaring skyscrapers, including One Canada Square, and discover the area's vibrant art scene, upscale shopping, and diverse dining options. Stroll along the waterfront and soak in the energy of this ever-evolving urban landscape, a symbol of London's global influence.

The View from The Shard

Ascend to The View from The Shard, Western Europe's tallest building, for unparalleled 360-degree views of London. Gaze upon iconic landmarks like St. Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye from dizzying heights. Experience London like never before as you take in the city's sprawling skyline and vibrant tapestry of streets and neighborhoods. This breathtaking panorama is a must-see for any visitor.
